Nearly 500,000 RAM pickup trucks

Fiat Chrysler recalled almost half a million Ram heavy-duty pickups and medium-duty trucks because their water pumps could be defective.

The recall involves Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups and Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs from the 2013 to 2017 model years. All 494,417 of the vehicles involved have 6.7-liter engines.

Most of the trucks were sold in the U.S., but 46,220 are in Canada and 4,485 are in other markets.

Fiat Chrysler says a water pump bearing can overheat under certain conditions, potentially leading to an engine fire.

Fiat Chrysler will notify customers and dealers will fix or replace the water pumps for free.

60,000 Mazda sedans

Mazda recalled more than 60,000 midsize cars in the U.S. and Canada because a wiring problem can knock out power-assisted steering and the passenger air bag.

The recall covers Mazda 6 sedans from 2015 and 2016. The company says in documents posted by the U.S. government that wires under the front passenger seat can rub against welding debris, causing them to short. A loss of power-assisted steering can increase the risk of a crash, although none have been reported.

Owners should see multiple warning lights if the problem happens.

Dealers will inspect the cars and install insulating tape or a protective pad to shield the wires. The recall is expected to start on Sept. 29.

Death Wish Coffee Nitro Cold Brew cans

Death Wish Coffee recalled its Nitro Cold Brew cans after a lab found traces of a potentially deadly toxin in the coffee.

Syracuse.com reported that a Cornell lab discovered a slight risk of Clostridium botulinum during tests. The toxin can cause botulism, a nerve-attacking illness that weakens muscles, leading to difficulty breathing and sometimes death. No illnesses have been reported, according to Death Wish's founder Mike Brown.

"We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause our customers and our retail partners, but we believe this is the right precautionary measure to take," said a statement from the company about the recall.

Death Wish's regular coffee has 59 milligrams of caffeine per fluid ounce, or about 472 milligrams per cup. Up to 400 milligrams of caffeine a day is considered generally healthy for adult consumption.
